In the Republican presidential primary, with the nomination virtually a foregone conclusion for Romney, Rick Santorum leads Romney 27-26% among the Republicans surveyed. Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich stood at 6% each and 35% were undecided.

The Indiana Senate/presidential polls are legitimately surprising. I would have predicted healthy leads for Lugar and Mittens, respectively.

There is a strong undercurrent of Evangelicals and very conservative Republicans. It was one of those May states where Santorum was suppose to be reasonably strong. There was a different poll a few weeks ago that showed him with a healthy lead (though the poll was questionable).
